Ironically, Not even this guy understands how people (other than marketers like himself) use Twitter. It's rare to see anyone favoriting a tweet to "reference" it later. Most people use favorite as a token of acknowledgement (I saw this and approve). Favorites are not endorsements either, since it doesn't get broadcasted to my followers.

- cableshaft 11y agoI do what he does. I see something interesting about design or development posted by someone else, I'll favorite it so I can find it easier later, not to endorse it (although usually I would endorse that it's worth checking out). That being said, I've used 'like's' in that way too, so I don't particularly care about this change.
- seehafer 11y ago> It's rare to see anyone favoriting a tweet to "reference" it later. A lot of broad statements being thrown around by both the author of this article and the people in this thread. I used favorites in exactly this way, and I'm not a marketer.
